[MAY ‘23 CHALLENGE] Sportsball
Hi
A couple scummers casually mentioned the other day that they miss Open Setup Challenges. So as the founder of the Challenges, I’m bringing them back! These are monthly challenges to design open setups based around specific ideas. The design phase is followed by a voting phase to determine a winner, who then sets the following month’s challenge!
Previously these challenges included some mechanical restrictions like “has to include exactly 9 players” or “must use neighborhoods in a unique way”. Those were fun, but sometimes the fact that they were TOO strict made it hard to get creative. Or other times people had great ideas, only to get eliminated from winning on a technicality.
SO: The previous era of mechanics-focused challenges is over! These new challenges will be theme-based! Themes allow for a wide range of game design creativity, while still being inspiring and allowing for comparative voting. Let’s get to it:
Have fun and make sure to stretch so you don’t get injured!Last edited by Irrelephant11 on Sat May 06, 2023 11:24 am, edited 1 time in total.Hey all! Excited and nervous to play my first game with you!

Sports isn’t any of our forte! You could submit something that just, like, loosely includes points tbh
But interesting submissions so far!!Hey all! Excited and nervous to play my first game with you!

Wait so based on random dice rolls multiple townies could, say, learn the color of William Tell’s arrows N1, and then a massclaim of colors on D2 could out William Tell? The random dice roll seems a little too swingyIn post 1, biancospino wrote:Hey all! Excited and nervous to play my first game with you!

I think optimal play for a townie with the tennis ball is to always pick Doubles, pick a scummy opponent, and pick a scummy partner. And then the town also pressures the opponent to pick a scummy partner. With that in mind town probably hits scum somewhat regularly but probably a townie goes down with them, making this sorta dance game-y (not a bad thing)
Also optimal play for scum probably includes a N1 kill so the game is on evens for almost every day phase, I think?Hey all! Excited and nervous to play my first game with you!

I just bring it up because generally Open Setups try to avoid situations where either side wins automatically, however unlikely. Swing is fine, but nobody wants to feel outplayed by a dice rollHey all! Excited and nervous to play my first game with you!

I’m not competing since I set the theme, but I thought I’d share the idea that came to me today

Oh I mean in practice I’m sure Singles is sometimes situationally the right choice! I’m not saying it’s broken or anything. I just like trying to figure out what good strategies there might beHey all! Excited and nervous to play my first game with you!
